Our Verdict

Keychron M6

Keychron M7

The Keychron M6 and the Keychron M7 are wireless mice designed for productivity and gaming. The M6 is more productivity-oriented and has some helpful work features, like a secondary thumb scroll wheel and a main scroll wheel with a free-scrolling mode. It's also a different, more sculpted shape with a higher hump in the middle, whereas the M7 has a smaller middle hump that's more rounded. The M7, on the other hand, is lighter and better suited for making fast movements, like in an FPS. They both use the same sensor and deliver similar performance results suitable for everyday use and gaming.
